A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Furthermore, given that his own strength was already enough to allow him to roam freely in this world, Li Wei felt a sense of condescending mockery when dealing with the various important figures in this world.

Although the Kyokugenryu Dojo was able to open a dojo in the expensive South Town, its financial resources were not as great as outsiders imagined. The Kyokugenryu Dojo was located in the relatively old town area, and only in places like this with relatively cheap land prices could various dojos be established.

However, even in relatively old districts of an international metropolis like South Town, land is still incredibly valuable to outsiders. Despite the limited financial resources of the Extreme Flow group, compared to underground emperors like Gis Puppet, they are still among the wealthiest small group of people for ordinary people.

The dojo of the Kyokugenryu school was built to be quite luxurious. Even from a distance, one could hear shouts coming from inside, which were the Kyokugenryu disciples training.

Because the Extreme Style focuses on hard-hitting external martial arts, it takes a short time to cultivate and develop combat power, often only one or two years, making it very popular among young people. Li Wei arrived at the entrance of the dojo, placed his hand on the gate, and gently pressed it. A muffled thunderous sound rang out, but the gate remained completely undamaged.

The muffled thunderous sound attracted the disciples who were training. The sound, like a building exploding, surprised them.

Ryo Sakazaki, who was supervising his students' training in the courtyard, frowned upon hearing the voice. Robert Garcia, standing nearby, said, "I'll go check on them. Guests like this are quite rare."

“I’m afraid the visitor might be an unwelcome guest, so I’ll go myself,” Ryo Sakazaki said. His father, Takuma Sakazaki, was away on business and wouldn’t be back for the next couple of days. As the current top fighter of the Kyokugenryu, he had a responsibility and obligation to represent the sect and communicate with the mysterious guest.

Ryo Sakazaki clapped his hands and said to his disciples who had stopped training, "Line up to welcome our distinguished guest!"

Upon hearing Ryo Sakazaki's words, the disciples from all over the world, of various skin colors, lined up neatly at the main gate, forming two rows. Ryo opened the gate and saw Li Wei standing outside. Li Wei, with a warm, sunny demeanor and tall stature, dressed in sportswear, looked like a passing tourist. However, since he had knocked on the door, he was either there to pay a visit or to challenge the sect.

"I apologize for disturbing you. I've always heard that Kyokugenryu has real skills. I've come today to ask Mr. Sakazaki Takuma some questions about martial arts." Li Wei clasped his hands together and smiled as he performed a Chinese martial arts salute.

"Distinguished guests, please come in and speak with us." Ryo Sakazaki led Li Wei into the dojo.

The Kyokugenryu dojo is not only luxurious on the outside, but also has very complete facilities inside. Moreover, the buildings are clearly well maintained, and every detail speaks to its wealth.

Ryo Sakazaki said to Li Wei, "Takuma Sakazaki is my father, but he is away on business these past two days. If you are looking for my father, then it is really unfortunate."

Li Wei showed a regretful expression and said, "That's really a pity, but I will be staying in Nanzhen for a while, and I will visit you again when I have the chance."

Ryo Sakazaki breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't some troublesome guest, that was fine. South Town was Geese's territory, and Geese had always disliked the Kyokugenryu style. This made him always worry that Geese might use some kind of trickery to target them.

Just then, a petite girl ran out and said, "Brother! What happened?! I just heard someone banging on the door!"

The girl's words made Ryo Itazaki feel embarrassed, after all, Li Wei, the person in question, was still there.

Li Wei looked at the girl in front of him and recognized her at a glance. This sporty girl with a single braid, wearing a taekwondo uniform but with a tight-fitting bodysuit underneath, was Sakazaki Yuri (Sakazaki Sayuri).

The girl in front of me is only a novice now, but in the future, she will grow into a qualified fighter and participate in the King of Fighters tournament as a representative of the Kyokugenryu Dojo. In the future, she will be considered a veteran fighter who has participated in all the King of Fighters tournaments.

However, given her current lack of skill, her father and brother wouldn't feel comfortable letting her participate in the competition.

After all, the King of Fighters tournament doesn't prohibit weapons, nor does it have any rules about forbidden moves or body parts. Let alone a girl like Yuri Sakazaki, even an ordinary fighter would be terrified of such an unregulated battle.

Fighters who dare to participate in the King of Fighters tournament, regardless of their results, must have courage far exceeding that of ordinary people, since such a no-rules tournament can easily result in death.

Li Wei laughed and said, "It seems that my way of knocking caused this young lady to misunderstand, which is my fault."

The moment Yuri Sakazaki saw Levi, her face flushed. Levi's charm was overwhelmingly irresistible to women. A young girl like Yuri Sakazaki was utterly powerless against someone like Levi.

Chapter 249. A Slightly Expensive Greeting Gift

The King of Fighters series is actually a hodgepodge, but it's done so well that it doesn't feel out of place for players.

The characters before Li Wei are from the previous King of Fighters game, Art of Fighting. The Geese Howard he previously controlled is from Fatal Fury. Interestingly, the ninja Eiji Kisaragi, who appeared in Art of Fighting 2, also appeared as Iori Yagami's teammate in King of Fighters '95, and later returned in King of Fighters XI. Furthermore, Eiji Kisaragi's ancestor is "Zantetsu" from The Last Blade.

Despite Eiji Kisaragi's somewhat lackluster performance in the King of Fighters series, every one of his ancestors who inherited the title of "Zantetsu" was a world-class fighter. Eiji's current strength is not yet sufficient to inherit the family title, so his slightly weaker performance is understandable.

Furthermore, according to information obtained by Li Wei from SNK insiders, Mai Shiranui's family, the Shiranui clan, can be traced back to before the Warring States period. The monster Shiranui Gen'an, who appeared in the Samurai Shodown series, is considered a distant relative of Mai Shiranui's ancestors, and the two are related by blood.

Therefore, the King of Fighters universe acts like a transportation hub, connecting numerous other universes. Especially the appearance of Nakoruru in *The King of Fighters XIV*, whose official explanation is that she traveled through time from ancient times to the modern era due to a mysterious force. This hodgepodge is incredibly irresponsible. To allow a popular character to appear across timelines, they simply created a time-travel scenario. If you're so capable of making Nakoruru appear, then why don't you make Iroha (the original erotic maid) appear in the still-in-development *The King of Fighters XVI*?

Therefore, even a random fighter who only appears a few times in the King of Fighters series has a deep backstory that can be explored, and you might just uncover some interesting background information.

As a fighting game, The King of Fighters' world-building is even more complex than Street Fighter's. Only games like Tekken and DOA, which also like to cross world-building boundaries, can compare to The King of Fighters in terms of world-building chaos.

Akuma, who appeared in "Tekken," and Mai Shiranui, who appeared in "DOA," both illustrate a lot of points.

Although he had thought a great deal, only a moment had passed in the outside world. Li Wei's thinking speed far surpassed that of ordinary people; in his accelerated state, he could even perceive time as nearly frozen. Li Wei looked at Sakazaki Yuri and said with a smile, "And this is '1'?"

Ryo Sakazaki said, "I'm sorry, this is my younger sister, Yuri Sakazaki. She doesn't know any manners, so I apologize on her behalf. May I ask your surname, sir?" "Just call me Li Wei. I'm from Chongguo," Li Wei said with a smile.

"Chinatown?" Ryo Sakazaki asked tentatively.

The Chinatown in South Town is also a powerful force. Gis Puppet's master, Tang Fulu, is stationed in Chinatown. Gis Puppet has never dared to take action against Chinatown before because he was afraid of his master's strength.

However, the balance of power has now reversed, but Li Wei isn't interested in Chinatown, so he's temporarily putting it aside. Li Wei smiled and said, "I haven't been in South Town for very long, and I haven't visited Chinatown yet."

Ryo Sakazaki nodded, confirming that Li Wei wasn't from Chinatown, which relieved him. After all, the martial arts schools in Chinatown were rivals of their Kyokugenryu style. Rivals are common among martial arts schools, and exchanges between schools are often troublesome and awkward.

Li Wei said, "I didn't prepare any gifts beforehand for this unannounced visit, um..."

Li Wei took out an exquisite gold bracelet from his small bag, gently lifted Yuri Sakazaki's hand, and put the bracelet on her wrist.

Yuri Sakazaki blushed at Levi's sudden attack and could only turn to her older brother for help. Ryo Sakazaki, however, was also somewhat surprised and confused. Levi said, "Consider this my apology for disturbing your teaching time. Since the master is not here, I will visit again next time."

Li Wei had no interest in Ryo Sakazaki or Robert. Only a world-class powerhouse like Takuma Sakazaki could inspire a desire to fight him. As for the three people in front of him, Li Wei thought they were all too inexperienced.

Ryo Sakazaki grabbed Yuri Sakazaki's hand, trying to take off the bracelet, but Yuri Sakazaki was as slippery as an eel, and instantly darted away three or four meters.

"Come back! You're not allowed to accept such a valuable gift!" Ryo Sakazaki said with a stern face.

Takuma Sakazaki was very strict with his upbringing, so Ryo Sakazaki always considered the limits of what he did. Levi gave him such a generous gift on their first meeting. It might not seem like much to Levi, but he would never allow Yuri Sakazaki to break the family rules.

Yuri Sakazaki stuck out her tongue and made a face, saying, "You idiot big brother! This is a gift from my older brother, I'm not giving it to you! Hehehehe!!!"

Watching Yuri Sakazaki run off into the distance, Ryo Sakazaki's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, while Robert could only smile wryly. This was already a common occurrence at the dojo. Yuri Sakazaki was the only person besides his master, Takuma Itagaki, who could make his senior brother Ryo Sakazaki lose face.

Not only Robert, but even the disciples around him were trying not to laugh, since it was rare to see Ryo Sakazaki with such a helpless expression.

Ryo Sakazaki took a deep breath, controlled his emotions, and said to Li Wei, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, sir. My little sister has such a lively temper, and it's hard for me to control her. This gift is really too precious."

Although Ryo Sakazaki was a martial arts fanatic, he wasn't completely ignorant about life. He knew the current price of gold, and the gold bracelet looked quite heavy, equivalent to an average person's annual income. Such a generous gift left him at a loss for how to reciprocate when facing Li Wei, making him feel inferior.

Li Wei laughed and said, "It's just a small gift. I don't have anything else, except for a little bit of gold reserves."

Li Wei demonstrated the universe at his fingertips.

Ryo Sakazaki was somewhat surprised and said, "Just a little bit?!"

Li Wei's generosity was something he absolutely did not believe was really just "a little bit".

"It could probably fill the entire Kyokugenryu Dojo seven or eight times," Li Wei laughed.

"This is already a national-level gold reserve..." Ryo Sakazaki was speechless. Another wealthy man to be envied. No wonder he gave Yuri Sakazaki a gold bracelet upon their first meeting, because for such a wealthy man, giving away a bracelet would not affect his wealth in the slightest.

“Yes, my friend said the same thing. He told me never to circulate my gold reserves, as it would cause an economic crisis. But I have no interest in wealth. I travel the world just to exchange skills with true powerhouses.” Li Wei revealed a hearty smile.

Ryo Sakazaki was very envious. This must be what it means to be rich and willful. He also wanted to travel the world and challenge masters from all over the world, but the affairs of the dojo kept him busy. In addition, the time and resources consumed by his own training meant that he had no time to go out and communicate with other strong people.

Chapter 250. Give Me Some Face

Li Wei said, "Since the curator is not here today, I will visit another day."

Ryo Sakazaki nodded. Although he was a martial arts fanatic who enjoyed exchanging and sparring with other martial artists, he wasn't a fight-crazy person who couldn't recognize the situation. In the current situation, it was best to safely send Li Wei out.

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Wei left the Kyokugenryu dojo.

After Li Wei left, Ryo Sakazaki looked at Yuri Sakazaki, who was squatting on the roof, and said, "Get down here!" "No way!" Yuri Sakazaki stuck out her tongue, made a face, and then jumped over the wall and disappeared.

Although the walls of the Kyokugenryu school were quite high, they were easily scaled by "superhumans" like them. Hearing the laughter of the trainees behind him, Ryo Sakazaki shouted, "What are you all laughing at? Keep training!"

Everyone was used to this situation. Since Ryo couldn't do anything to Yuri Sakazaki, he could only vent his anger on them by increasing their training volume. However, the students didn't resent this. After all, everyone who came to the Kyokugenryu Dojo was there to learn real skills. It was a good thing for a master like Ryo to take the initiative to help them with extra training. No student who really wanted to learn would refuse such a good thing.

After leaving the Kyokugenryu Dojo, Li Wei prepared to go to another place for his "040 check-in," which was King's bar. Judging by the time, the people sent by the Geese puppeteers should already be in place.

Levi possesses all of Geese Howard's memories from before he became a puppet, so he knows the location of Joan's bar quite well.

Joan's bar had been vandalized once before, before Geese was turned into a puppet. Howard destroyed it, and although Joan was a woman, she possessed astonishing strength, which is why Geese was attracted to her talent. Howard wanted to bring her under his wing and have her contribute to his ambitious plans, but the two sides failed to reach an agreement for various reasons.

When Li Wei arrived at Joan's bar, he saw that the bar was temporarily closed. He knew that the people arranged by Giss Puppet had begun to take action. However, Giss Puppet, now Li Wei's clone, no longer had the obsessive arrogance he once had. Even towards a "small fry" like Joan, he was able to lower himself and scheme against her.

As Li Wei pushed open the bar door, a striking blonde woman in a tight-fitting bartender uniform said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Sorry, sir, we're closed today." Ignoring the men in suits and ties inside, Li Wei sat down at the bar and said, "I'm just a thirsty passerby. A glass of wheat soda shouldn't be a problem, right?" Joan frowned slightly and said, "You really are a fearless guy."

Joan took a barrel glass from the glass rack, walked to the beer barrel, gently pressed the tap, filled a glass with foamy beer, and with a gentle push, the glass stopped right in front of Li Wei without spilling a drop of foam, demonstrating Joan's precise control over her strength.

Many bartenders can perfectly stop the glass in front of a customer, but to prevent the liquid in the glass from sloshing is something few can do. Joan said, "Finish your drink and leave quickly. Didn't you see, none of these people are easy to deal with?"

The bald, burly man in the black suit who was leading the group said, "Miss Joan, you're slandering us. Although I have the face of a bad guy, I'm a law-abiding lawyer, and the people next to me are just my assistants. You can't judge a book by its cover!"

Joan sneered, "Obey the law? Does that guy Geese have anyone who obeys the law? That's the funniest joke I've heard all year."

The bald, burly man in the black suit looked helpless and said, "Don't make us sound like some kind of villains. We're just acting according to the law and the rules, Miss Joan. We're here to take back this bar." Joan frowned and said, "What kind of scheme are you up to now? Doesn't this bar belong to Mr. Big? How come it's your turn to take it back?"

Mr. Big's whereabouts are currently unknown, and his original forces (CGCI) in South Town have also scattered like birds and beasts, with all his assets being divided up by his men. This bar may not have been exactly clean in origin, but it's not like it's going to be taken over by Geese's men.

Moreover, the bar is located in a bustling area and is very popular. It is also an important source of funds for her to save money for her sick brother's medical expenses. If she loses the bar, she doesn't know how she will raise money for her brother's medical expenses.

Sister, you see, although the medical technology here in our country is advanced, the cost of treating diseases is enough to bankrupt ordinary people. Qiong, who couldn't buy medical insurance before because of her economic conditions, is now facing the problem of sky-high medical expenses. She only has six months at most to raise funds.

Her brother suffered from a very rare disease that tormented him relentlessly, weakening him until he eventually died of organ failure. While there are precedents for a cure, the surgery and subsequent treatments are extremely expensive, and only wealthy individuals with comprehensive health insurance dare to undergo treatment. For ordinary people, such a disease either leads to financial ruin or leaves them to die at home.

Sister, look, medical insurance here in the country is very expensive. Even ordinary middle-class families can hardly afford it. To buy medical insurance for the whole family, you have to be at least a small-bourgeois family. Qiong's family was just an ordinary family. The reason she brought her younger brother to Nanzhen to work hard was because she heard that there were more opportunities in big cities and wanted to try her luck.

Later, Mr. Big blackmailed her with his brother, forcing her to join his organization and become his subordinate. The bar was then entrusted to her to run in order to raise funds for the organization's activities.

Mr. Big lost his power struggle with Geese and fled the country, leaving the bar to become her property.

However, she was only in charge of the business and didn't actually have any legal permits, so she was very flustered in the face of this situation.

Li Wei revealed a playful smile. After all, he was the real mastermind behind this matter, so he was very clear about the current situation.

Li Wei took out the bank card he had used as a token from his pocket and said, "You're from Gis's side? Then you should recognize this."

When the men in black saw the bank card in Li Wei's hand, their attitude immediately turned serious. They all stood at attention, like soldiers being inspected.
